16. DRAPETES MORDELLOIDES (HOST, 1789)

Examined material: the unique finding of the species was made in 6 km SW Chernyakhovsk , 54°60´13´´N 21°71´31.2´´E, 12.VI.1993 (1 ex., sweeping near a birch log, the edge of the mixed forest, leg. V. Alekseev) .

Comments: This species is widely distributed across the whole Baltic and Fennoscandian region and has been reported from all territories except Norway ( Silfverberg 2004). It is noted for Belarus too ( Alexandrovitch et al. 1996). Everywhere in the Baltic States it is very rare ( Barševskis 2005, Tamutis et al. 2010) and occurs very sporadicaly only. On the territory of the northern part of the former East Prussia, it has been recorded from Insterburg [Chernyakhovsk] only ( Bercio & Folwaczny 1979). This primeval forest relict is associated with laying trunks of birch, aspen and oak, where it develops in the rotten wood ( Nikitsky et al. 1996).
